Going to use the Tangerine Ultra fine pad with the M205 and then follow up with Crimson for the Sealent... is this correct... or should I get other pads for what I am doing... I am not really going to use the M105 and the "blue" pad that comes in the kit the first time as I would like to get used to using the PC first... <!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Tangerine with M205 - 2 pads and polish that come with the kit

Crimson with sealant - 1 pad that you order seperately

Cyan with M105 - 2 pads and polish that come with the kit

That is the correct combination and exactly what I would use.

I have the poorboys wheel sealant and I was the only person on DI to give it a negative review. It works well, but its rather time consuming to put on. I would recommend adding a foam applicator pad. Makes applying it much easier.

DI Accessories Foam Applicator Pad | Detailed Image

1.49 well spent to keep the pink sealant from getting everywhere.

And I hope you have good microfiber towels.

Other than that, your order looks good. I have a BO G37 and I havent had the need to use the M105 on my car yet. The M205 polish can get out swirl marks if you take your time and it finishes down nicely, so I havent been using my finishing polish on it. The M205 makes a very nice 1 step polish.

Hopefully the Wheel Sealant still worked well for you but depending on your wheel it can take a bit of time to apply. If you want something faster I HIGHLY recommend the Optimum Opti-Seal & Free Yellow Foam Applicator. Spray it on the wheel or your applicator and spread it extremely thin and you are DONE. It dries clear and requires no removal. The protection is durable and you can also use this product on your paint, glass, headlights.

I was planning on giving the spray on sealant a shot once I finished the jar of poorboys. And the poorboys did work very well, the only reason I get it a "no, I would not buy it again" was because it took a lot of time on the stock wheels to apply. For my wife's 5 spoke RAV4, it take a few minutes, but for all the nooks and crannys of the G37 wheels, it just took a little too much time for my preference.

Once its on, it works like a charm and I have no complaint with the actual product itself, it does a great job, just the application was a little too long for my preference.
